 ThriftPy

 ========

 .

 ThriftPy is a pure python implementation of

 `Apache Thrift <http://thrift.apache.org/>`_ in a pythonic way.

 .

 Documentation: https://thriftpy.readthedocs.org/

 .

 Features

 ========

 .

 Currently ThriftPy have these features (also advantages over the upstream

 python lib):

 .

 - Supports python2.6+, python3.3+, pypy and pypy3.

 .

 - Pure python implementation. No longer need to compile & install the 'thrift'

   package. All you need is thriftpy and thrift file.

 .

 - Compatible with Apache Thrift. You can use ThriftPy together with the

   official implementation servers and clients, such as a upstream server with

   a thriftpy client or the opposite.

 .

   Currently implemented protocols and transports:

 .

   * binary protocol (python and cython)

 .

   * compact protocol (python and cython)

 .

   * json protocol

 .

   * buffered transport (python & cython)

 .

   * framed transport

 .

   * tornado server and client (with tornado 4.0)

 .

 .

 - Can directly load thrift file as module, the sdk code will be generated on

   the fly.

 .

 - Easy RPC server/client setup.
